UConn women announce home sites

The UConn women’s basketball program announced its home game sites for the 2013-14 season, and once again the Huskies will play a very balanced schedule between Gampel Pavilion on the Storrs campus and the XL Center in Hartford.

The Huskies have 18 home games this season, and half of those will be played in Gampel Pavilion. The featured games of the nine to be held at the campus arena will be against Stanford on Nov. 11 and against Louisville on Feb. 9.

UConn will once again play a healthy schedule of eight games at the XL Center with the biggest of those games being the season-opener Nov. 9 against Hartford and the Jan. 26 game against South Florida.

There is one interesting note to the home schedule. The Jan. 11 game against Tanya Cardoza’s Temple team does not have a site listed for it as of yet. The location of that game, to be announced shortly, is expected to be either the Mohegan Sun Arena or Bridgeport’s Webster Bank Arena.

UConn’s new conference, the American Athletic Conference, will hold its very first conference tournament at the Mohegan Sun Arena from March 7-10.

The Huskies have two exhibition games schedule, one each at Gampel and the XL Center. They play their first game on Nov. 1 with an exhibition against Gannon at Gampel Pavilion. Their other exhibition is against Philadelphia on Nov. 5 at the XL Center.
